Documentation

Everything you need to run SourceVault: how the engine works, what each setting does, and the commands your AI tools get.

Getting started

Install: one command on macOS, Linux, or Windows (WSL2), or Docker Compose for a shared team server. Every install includes the 7-day free trial.

How it works: the full walkthrough: indexing, hybrid retrieval, grounded answers, and a dashboard session on video.

Using SourceVault

Settings and features: every dashboard setting explained: full git history, the history backend, licensed features, plan limits, and the environment variables operators use instead.

Commands and integrations: the Hermes plugin's slash commands, the LLM-callable tools, and the MCP server that exposes the engine to any MCP client.

Reference

Benchmark: how answer quality is measured, with the methodology and current numbers.

Air-gapped installs: offline bundles, local models, and the zero-egress verification procedure.

Changelog: what shipped, version by version.

Comparison: how SourceVault differs from cloud code assistants, and where each fits.
